1950's doors
There was a door design from the 1950's which had 3 window panes in the
upper corner that were shaped like "BELLS". I'm sure the actual design differed somewhat from my drawing, but this gives you the basic idea: http://170.photobucket.com/albums/i9...lrod2/Door.jpg I did this from memory AND it's been years since I've seen one. If anybody has a photo OR knows where there's one of these doors, would you mind taking a picture of it and emailing it to me? I have the woodworking skills to replicate this design. All I need is a picture to use as my template. My chances of finding one of those doors for sale are ZERO, (I've been searching for a while) so my next best bet is to custom build it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bryan Lord |

Bryan Lord Well... if you are confident that it will be so difficult to find one of these doors to take a picture of, then hell - just go for it from how you remember them to be. After all - how will anyone be able to prove your design wrong? Besides, they were simply that - a design. Anything you come up with from memory is going to be just as valid. -- -Mike- |

1950's doors
Wow, I was beginning to think nobody remembered those doors but me!
There's another neat design I still see on a few houses where the windows are in the shape of 3 "fizz" bubbles. You just don't see those unique designs anymore...too bad. Bryan |

1950's doors
I can remember that style but they weren't in the shape of bells, similar
but the sides were straight, sort of three triangles with all corners rounded. wrote in message ups.com...
